MCW1001A MODULE:

The WiFi library simplifies usage of the MCW1001A TCP/IP Socket Communications Interface chip through plenty of library routines.  

The MCW1001A is a companion chip to the MRF24WB0 802.11 module. It provides simple socket based method of sending and receiving data from the MRF24WB0 802.11 module.    The MCW1001A has an on-board TCP/IP stack and 802.11 connection manager to simplify the connection between a wireless network and the TCP/IP stack management.  

The MCW1001A can access the MRF24WB0 802.11 module to connect to a network and send/receive serial data over a simple UART interface.          

WiFi PLUS Click is an accessory board in mikroBUS™ form factor. It’s a compact solution for adding WiFi communication to your device. It features MRF24WB0MA – 2.4GHz, IEEE std. 802.11 - compliant module as well as MCW1001 companion controller with on-board TCP/IP stack and 802.11 connection manager. WiFi PLUS click communicates with target board via UART interface. Board is designed to use 3.3V power supply only. It has an option to achieve low power consumption.

Note:

This library is tested using Linksys router (model WRT 120N).

It is noted that some routers (like TP-Link router WR340G) does not properly deliver ARP requests to WiFi module. In case you have such router, the only way to find out MAC address of WiFi module is by reading Gratuitous ARP packets, which WiFi module periodically send. But, some operating system (like Windows 7) just ignore Gratuitous ARP packets, so you must manually update ARP list.

CC3000 MODULE: The CC3000 WiFi library simplifies usage of the TI CC3000 wireless network processor through plenty of library routines. The TI CC3000 module is a self-contained wireless network processor that simplifies the implementation of Internet connectivity. TI’s SimpleLink Wi-Fi solution minimizes the software requirements of the host microcontroller (MCU) and is thus the ideal solution for embedded applications using any low-cost and low-power MCU. Note: Users must ensure that the 1.24 service pack version is flashed into the CC3000 device. In order to find out which service pack version is flashed into the CC3000 device, please use theNet_Wireless_CC3000_NvmemReadSpVer routine. Currently, library for CC3000 module is available only for TI MCU-s. We are working on other architectures. 27/02/2014: Added support for ST MCU-s. Added examples for CC3000 Click.

SPWF01S MODULE: The SPWF01S module integrates a complete TCP/IP stack and a user-friendly application layer that ensures a simple and effective way to use the modules via AT commands. The module is configured around a single-chip 802.11 transceiver with integrated PA and an STM32 32-bit microcontroller with extensive GPIO support, and communicates with host MCU through UART interface. The module also incorporates timing clocks and voltage regulators.
